Vinu ji is a very clever guy who understands the world inside out; but not many understand him.
He speaks in riddles and gives crytic messages.
At the physical level he is a great barbeque cook.😆

About the book Bagavat Gita, I feel the whole book is a teaching or arguments for violence. Krishna, to his disciple Arjuna, is teaching, "You go to the war, fight, because that's what is the will of God, becos without his will nothing happens. So if this big war is happening, it cannot happen without his will." Krishna tries in every way to persuade Arjuna. Arjuna argues but he is not a great logician, otherwise it was so simple.......Krisna says "This is what God wills. What can I do? I am simply following his will. Nobody can do anything against his will, so if I am going to the forest to meditate and not to fight, it is his responsibility." There was no need for any argument. And Ifeel the whole Gita is just an argument.... Arjuna trying to argue or non-violence and Krishna imposing violence becos God wants it. His sole argument is, "You should surrender to God's will and do whatever He wants." ....anyone readed these part of Gita....? Is God realy want the war!!😕



100% incorrect interpretation.

Read Harry Potter or the Lord of the Rings. -- These type of books if we read once..mind itself say enough...but some books like Gita or Quran or bible or veda's each time we read ...we get differnt meaning...thats the difference..
I understand actually Krishna and Arjuna are Nara and Narayana of the ancient days, just carrying out an act.
Arjuna is also called Gudakesa, not many people can do this. I fall asleep like a pumpkin.
Even during the war Hanuman was hanging around now everyone knows that none can defeat Hanuman but He humbly stepped aside so that the story can unfold.
If I am God , I too would introduce more wars to get rid of unwanted elements. I am glad God thinks like us too.😉Vinu ji what would you do if you were God ? --I believe every human being is God ..every being is God...God is our reality....😊

My interpretation is my thoughts...Am not saying am right...My point is in War nobody is going to be the winner, So what is the point of war? Why Krishna force arjun to do the war? Bcos there is going to be no winner...all are going to be the losers...😊

In that war, there was a winner and that was dharm. There was also a loser and that was adharm. That was the whole point of that war.

lol, if Krishna's sole purpose was to convince Arjuna to wage war, then by the early part of the second chapter, Arjuna would've got the point, there would be no point going on and on for 700 verses which would've probably taken about 2 hours. There wouldn't be any need to go into details of Sankhya and Vedanta philosophy and philosophy of the paths of action and of devotion, topics which have no relevance under the circumstances.

The Bhagavad Gita is a synthesis of various philosophies i.e Sankhya, Yoga, Vedanta, set against the backdrop of the battlefield. The point is not that Arjuna should fight, the point is that a person shouldn't abandon their duty, Arjuna was a warrior, his duty was to fight. The rest of the book discusses ideas such as atman, reincarnation, moksha, karma, nature of God etc
